Making Rounds on Fox 10 News: March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Isaac Payne, D.O., general and colorectal surgeon, and Ashley Rains from Infirmary Health discussed prevention, detection and treatment of the disease as well as upcoming Infirmary Cancer Care screening events during Fox10's Making Rounds segment. 

Among cancers that affect both men and women, colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, according to the American Cancer Society. Colorectal cancer affects people in all racial and ethnic groups and is most common in people age 50 and older. Routine testing can help prevent colorectal cancer or even find it in an early stage when it is smaller and easier to treat.
